A-tier and B+: Excellent subs. This range is what a group that has a consistent focus on quality will reach (unless they stumble into it by grace of the gods). I reserve A-tier for those subs with a certain cachet that mark them above the rest, but a B+ release falls under this general designation.B- to B: This is where I expect most groups to be hitting. It’d be nice if everyone released A+ shit, but that’s unrealistic. These scores, while not glamorous, are completely understandable.C- to C+: Needs some work. Generally these subs will not have been significantly edited or QC’d. Sometimes visual failings can sink a group to this level, though it’s usually the script that’s the issue.D- to D+: There needs to be a significant staff change for a show if your group hits this level of stupid. You can leave things as they are, but your more discerning viewers probably won’t be pleased.F: What are you doing

For short shows (those with a running length of less than, oh let’s say, 9.31 minutes), I’ll break it down into Pass vs. Fail. Because, really, who gives a fuck?
